Subscribe for more Videos: http://www.youtube.com/c/PlantationSDAChurchTV In episode 28 of the Bible Unmasked, Pastor Gervon Marsh and Cassandra Pierre discuss Proverbs 15 to Ecclesiastes 4. Both Proverbs and Ecclesiastes are books of wisdom.   Date: July 11, 2021 Questions in this episode Q: How can we apply this verse in our daily lives? How easy is it to give a gentle answer when we are rightfully upset, have been wronged, or abused? Q: The Book of Proverbs provides many words of wisdom like the ones expressed in this verse. Judging from the way we behave, act in church, and during board meetings, it's safe to assume that many church members and leaders are unfamiliar with the Book of Proverbs. Why is it rarely preached about? Why do preachers focus more on certain Bible books but tend to neglect others? Q: Can you please explain this verse? How does it relate to “[t]he fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding” (Proverbs 9:10 NIV.) What's the difference between wisdom and knowledge? What does it mean that “[t]he fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding”? Q: Is this always true? Does this verse apply to the 80-year old murderer who's serving a life-prison sentence? Q: What is a fool according to the Bible? Q: We often acquit the guilty through good lawyering. Should Christians become lawyers, defend “the guilty,” and fiercely advocate for them? Isn't it what Jesus did for us when he died on the cross although we were guilty and deserved death? Q: Is it wrong for a man to remain single? Do the single receive God's favor? Q: Does this verse suggest that being rich is a bad thing? Q: What does the fear of the Lord mean? Should we be afraid of God? Q: Does the Book of Proverbs promote violence? Q: What about babies? What standards are they judged by? Is there an age when we start to sin? Will all babies go to heaven? Q: Why? Please explain this verse. Q: Can you summarize the 30 sayings of the wise man (Proverbs 22- 24)? Q: Who was Agur (Proverbs 31)? Q: Women are often demeaned in the Bible. How significant it is that the Book of Proverbs ends with the description of the “Wife of a Noble Character”(Proverbs 31)? Q: The Book of Psalms is a compilation of songs. The Book of Proverbs is a book of wisdom. What do we know about the Book of Ecclesiastes? What's the best way to describe it? Q: How can the dead be happier than the living?

See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog/ Q: Why do I have to take Progesterone every night? Post-menopausal bleeding is one of the side effects of any estrogen replacement therapy, including estradiol pellets. We can prevent break-through or postmenopausal bleeding by treating all women who have a uterus with bio-identical progesterone (BLA Progesterone, or Prometrium®) orally or with sublingual (under the tongue) progesterone. Progesterone prevents overgrowth of the uterine lining, uterine bleeding and uterine (endometrial cancer). You must take progesterone if you want to be treated with estradiol after menopause and you have not had either a hysterectomy, a successful uterine ablation, have a Mirena IUD, or if you can't take progesterone undergo a uterine ultrasound and biopsy of the uterine endometrium yearly.   Q: What should I do first if I start bleeding? Take AirBorne®, one tablet in water every day for a week.  If that doesn't stop the bleeding add Vitamin K 100 mcg 1-3 pills per day for a week, to the Airborne®.  If that doesn't stop it, then double your progesterone dose for 2 weeks and if that doesn't stop it then you'll have to go to your gynecologist for a diagnosis and treatment of this unusual bleeding.  Most of our patients stop bleeding.   Q: I've bled once or twice in the first 4 months after starting estrogen pellets, what should I do? Bleeding in the first 4 months after starting your first round of pellets is common and is usually something that will not happen again if you're taking your progesterone every night before bed.    Q: What should I do If I forget my progesterone? If you forget your progesterone for one or more nights, take it as soon as you remember, but you may spot or bleed for up to 2 weeks.  If your bleeding is heavy then take 2 progesterone pills at bedtime for 2 weeks and then try going back to 1 every night.   If the bleeding doesn't stop, then go off the progesterone for 2 weeks and restart one every night again.  If bleeding starts again then we will ask you to see your gynecologist to make sure you don't have a polyp or fibroid causing the bleeding.   Q:  What if I have a thick lining in my uterus, polyps or fibroids? What's next? Your gynecologist will do an ultrasound and may decide to do a D&C, a uterine biopsy, or a hysteroscopy to remove the lining and the polyp or fibroid. In some circumstances you might have to choose between stopping your estradiol or having a hysterectomy.   Q: I've bled over and over during my treatment and have already tried doubling my progesterone but keep bleeding, what should I do? Recurrent bleeding can be from a thick uterine lining, a very thin lining, or a uterine polyp or fibroid.  For us to know how to treat you, we need to know what is making you bleed.  This requires an ultrasound of the uterus done through the vagina.  We can order a pelvic ultrasound at Metro Imaging, or you can go to your GYN to have it done at his or her office.   Q: I had my ultrasound and I have a (thick lining/or polyp), what do I do now?  Your GYN will have to biopsy the lining of your uterus to make sure it is benign.  If you have a polyp then you will need a D&C and a hysteroscopy to remove it.  Your GYN will do this because that is their job. Please call them for an appointment and tell their receptionist what the problem is.   Q: I had my ultrasound and I have a very thin lining, what can I do to stop my bleeding? A thin lining means that your estradiol is low, and you should be given more estradiol, and or less progesterone.  We will take care of that by adjusting your dose of Estradiol when we give you your next pellets. In the meantime, if the bleeding is bothering you, we can prescribe an estrogen patch for you to wear until your next pellet insertion.   Q: I have one of the following symptoms: hair loss, swelling, pelvic pain, water retention, high blood pressure, fainting, chest pain, etc., all of which are symptoms that are not from to Estradiol or Testosterone.  Should I continue to take my pellets? My doctor said your treatment caused my disease/problem/complications.   There are a few side effects of Testosterone and, or Estradiol pellet therapy but these symptoms are not side effects of our pellet treatment.  You should go to your PCP and be evaluated for your symptoms and be diagnosed and treated for the real cause and what the problem really is. Don't just stop your pellets because your doctor doesn't understand that this form of hormone replacement doesn't cause these complaints.  Encourage her or him to find the real problem.   Q: What can I do if I cannot take Progesterone in any form because I have (melasma, nausea, swelling, headaches, bleeding) on Progesterone?  There are other options if you cannot tolerate natural progesterone to balance your estradiol.  You can ask your GYN for a uterine ablation of the uterus which would burn out the lining of the uterus and stop all bleeding, avoiding   any need for progesterone. Or you can get a Mirena IUD placed which will keep the lining thin and avoid bleeding for 5 years. The Mirena takes the place of oral BLA progesterone.   Q: What can I do if neither of these options for not taking progesterone are appropriate for me?   In very few cases a woman has a fibroid or a spongy uterus (Adenomyosis) that bleeds every time it is exposed to progesterone and the IUD or Ablation options are not possible. In these cases, we have a few other options No progesterone, but receive a vaginal ultrasound yearly and if your uterine lining is thick, you will need a D&C to clean out the uterus or an endometrial biopsy Get a Mirena IUD that lasts 5 years+ Stop all estrogen, but you can still take testosterone pellets and then there won't be a need for progesterone Have a hysterectomy, is the last and most drastic choice These are the answers to the questions we give our patients when they call or email our RN or Nurse Practitioners. These options for treatment and prevention are effective for most patients.  It is our goal at BioBalance Health to stop all bleeding in women on estradiol pellets who are menopausal.    Please subscribe to You Tube BioBalance Health Healthcasts to see this information in video format.

See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog/ Q: Why do I need so many tests to replace my testosterone and or estradiol with pellets? We order these tests for three purposes:  We test your general health, kidneys liver and lipids as well as your level of inflammation, and your blood counts.  These particular group of tests tell me how healthy you are, what undiagnosed problems you may or may not have, and some of the problems in your health that testosterone will improve.  The second group of tests (Hormone Group) is to evaluate every hormone in your body, because they all work together, and to determine if you need replacement of testosterone, estradiol, thyroid or other hormones.  The hormone group also assists us in determining your dosage of T and E2 pellets. The last group of tests are those that test to see if you might have problems taking testosterone or estradiol, so that we do not misdiagnose you or treat you incorrectly.  The help us to do no harm with your treatment.   Q: How Often are my labs drawn? We ask that you get a panel of lab tests before your first visit, before your second visit and once a year. If you have other medical problems that we are treating, we may intermittently order tests to manage these other problems.   Q: Why are your “optimal blood test ranges” different from the labs reference range? 3 kinds of Tests: Health tests, Hormone tests, and Risk preventive tests. Health tests are the same in general as Labcorp and Quest, except for Insulin fasting levels—We have updated them with the most recent research, but the labs have not. Hormone tests: At least one hormone test is taken to test each gland in your body.  Hormone tests are a little tricky because the lab “reference ranges” are not obtained from the hormone levels of young healthy patients  between 20-40 years of age of  the same sex as hormone levels have traditionally been determined, but in the past 15 years the labs have used the levels obtained from the “sick” patients who have their blood drawn for any reason by that lab  and they don't represent the optimal blood levels that are the goals of our hormone replacement treatment. The hormones we replace or stimulate to young healthy levels generally start becoming deficient at age 40-50. Comparing our patients to old and sick patients who generally go to the lab for tests, is not a test of health, but a test to see if that patient is on the average as sick as other people their age, which asks the question, Is the patient tested as sick as other folks their own age?We don't consider that comparison a test of health!  Testosterone, estradiol, thyroid and growth hormones fall drastically as patients age and their health decreases as their hormones drop.  For hormone tests we interpret them based on your circumstances and compare your numbers to those of healthy young adults 20-40 because hormone levels not only decrease with age, but compared to young healthy people of the same sex, their blood levels parallel their symptomology and incidence of the diseases of aging. It is true that traditional health care compares an individual to the group of people getting blood drawn, but the doctors don't even know it.. they still think the labs are devising their reference ranges from asymptomatic people who are young and healthy.  We had to repetitively ask the largest labs in the US Quest and Labcorp how they got their normal and why they were progressively lower levels each advancing year. It is because when comparing an individual to a random group of Americans who are getting tested because they are sick, the blood level average is dropping as Americans get fatter, more sedentary, stressed and have more and more diabetes and heart disease. We don't want our patients to be sick or be average for the “sick, obese and diabetic American” we want them to be in the reference range of healthy, young Americans without symptoms or presence of disease.  For an example the clothing industry has changed the measurements that indicate a certain size of women's dresses as the average American has gotten fatter.  If you wore a size 4 dress when you were 25, your waist measurement in the 70s was 24 inches.  In 2021 a size 4 waist measurement on a dress is now between 26-32 inches.  They have made the average size 4 bigger and bigger to reflect the fattening of Americans because wearing a smaller size makes us feel good! The labs have taken the cheaper route which is use the statistics you have in your hands—the results from patients whose insurance pays for their blood tests—to make a bell curve and create an average reference range which really means nothing but that if you are in that range, you are probably as sick as your neighbor.  In contrast we use the ranges that are used in hormone and medical research that have not changed in the last 50 years.  We don't want you to “feel good “about your lab tests if they are not reflecting health!   Risk Prevention Tests are tests that make sure we are treating the right illness, menopause, low T in women and men or a more serious illness, eg we test a prolactin level (the first pituitary hormone that increases from a pituitary tumor) to make sure we are really treating estradiol or testosterone deficiency, and not a pituitary tumor.  If the Prolactin is high (more than 60) a micro-adenoma of the pituitary may be present and you need an Endocrinologist or a Neurosurgeon to diagnose and treat it, not post-menopausal hormones from BioBalance Health! We also check for several genetic diseases that requires special management by us to keep testosterone replacement safe, including Hemochromatosis, Erythrocytosis, and High Homocysteine which can cause stroke or heart attacks.  Our goal of improving your health and decreasing your risk of disease means that we find and treat all the diseases that can occur with aging or that are made more severe with testosterone.   On the first blood draw, we test for your blood type to help us advise our patients on the most appropriate diet for their genetic make-up. At BioBalance Health® we order blood tests to direct our management and preventive medicine recommendations.  We advise you to use your insurance to pay for your blood tests and offer you the discount the lab offers us, if you do not have insurance or have high deductibles.  We do not use laboratory as a profit center, but as necessary medical information needed to guide us in our treatment plans.

Note: The time signatures [00:00] below indicate the start of a question if you'd like to skip to a particular one of interest in the audio file.[06:32] - Q: Were God the father, son, and spirit all present at the beginning of creation? How can we know this?A: See Colossians 1:16 - For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.John 1:3 - All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.REVELATION / ESCHATOLOGY / END-TIMES[10:13] - Q: Do you personally see and feel the rise of the spirit of the antichrist throughout the world? All Romans 1 items checked within just a years time:Pastors thrown in prison, churches fenced off, their homes burned with their children in them, US churches gladly shuttered in the name of "saving just one is worth it" while bowing to the alter of health, wealth, and science (the new religion)Atrocities by world governments such as human trials of genetic modification supported by corporate coercion, suicide inducing lockdowns, planned starvation, destruction of small business, purposeful separating of sheep and goats due to testing and vaccination requirements, technological explosion ripe for the markFree speech removal, big tech takeover, cancel culture, woke culture, UFO/UAF disclosures, twisting of language and logic in that we have birthing persons because biological men can have babies, menstruate, and compete with girls in sports, amen must include “awomen”Big tech takeover of everyone's lives: biometric data prepared for payment, cashless society by a false coin shortage, the US dollar move towards the digital dollar, shadow-banned to free speech isn't allowed on this platform to digital jail to digital exileIsrael: a new wars with many around them, a new government mixed with Jew and Muslim power, global antisemitism, US funded enemies, and the continued push for a 2 state solutionNation fighting against nation with BLM peaceful protests, white guilt turned in to all whites are racist, Christians are racist, stolen elections, NWO schemes, and Israel is the oppressor of the world...to name just a fewThat wedding feast seems to be getting really close now. So, personally how close are you feeling that the removal of His bride church is now?[17:16] - Q: It seems like Christ's return is imminent, I believe that he's coming back soon. I can't wait to be taken up to heaven. I just don't know how to live day to day with that type of mindset, knowing that I'm going to be taken away. How do I live "normally" worrying about work/job, finances, buying cars/stuff, upkeep for my house, etc. In first 1 Thes Paul tells the believers there that they haven't missed it and they need to keep on working. So I know I need to continue on, I'm just challenged by how to do that. Christ's love is in me and yes I can share that with others and try to get as many to heaven as possible, but really preacher, I'm exhausted from what God has given me. I'm ready to go. Can you give a few pieces of advice for how to persevere? How should I be praying? ThanksA: See Matthew 24:45-51, 1 Thes 5:6-11[24:16] - Q: In Revelation John sees the events of the end times and since John is a saved man, would he also be seeing himself in the future? Meaning that there would be a past John and a future John. Also, if John is there for the end times, that he had already seen, wouldn't he have known that the Lamb was worthy to open the scroll and break the seals?A: 1 Corinthians 4:6 - I have applied all these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, brothers, that you may learn by us not to go beyond what is written...OLD TESTIMENT LAW / DOCTRINAL ISSUES[30:22] - Q: Were multiple marriages in the Old Testament considered a sin? For example, David had multiple wives, if that was considered a sin and he continued to live in that sin seemingly unrepentant why did God still use him?Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines and God still used him... what? Was Solomon saved?[35:16] - Q: Why are there so many different versions of the Bible? Specifically the message, I know it gets the same point across but it says it completely differently than my NIV or ESV.[39:15] - Q: How do we know the Bible we have today is God's complete word? How does the apocrypha and other extra-biblical literature factor in? How can we be confident in it when it was seemingly assembled and decided by humans during various meetings/councils?A: Luke 24:27Any question that was missed due to time constraints during the service Pastor Jeff will address the answer on the blog.Sermon Notes (PDF): BLANKHint: Highlight blanks above for answers!

Dialysis isn't simply hooking up a patients to a machine for 3-4 hours. Veteran dialysis nurse, Jameisha Rogers RN, talks us through what happens during dialysis starting from reviewing orders to decannulation.Up My Nursing Game is partnering with VCU Health Continuing Education to offer FREE continuing education credits for registered nurses. Click here to obtain nursing credit (1.00).What does dialysis do?Dialysis eliminates waste, corrects electrolyte deficiencies, and corrects fluid imbalances.Inpatient v Outpatient DialysisInpatientDialysis is often a part of a treatment plan for another medical issue, surgery or situationLabs are drawn for every dialysis timeOutpatientA patient's labs may be drawn about 2-3x/monthFocuses more on the holistic care of the patient, including: Fluid statusElectrolyte balanceAnemiaMBD (mineral bone disease)VaccinationsCase managementDifferent Types of Dialysis AccessFistula: A surgical connection between a patient's own artery and vein.  Considered the "gold standard" for dialysis access.Graft: Similar to the AV fistula, a graft is a surgical connection between a patient's vein and artery, however the connection is made with a synthetic tube.CVC: A central line that terminates right above the right atrium. Due to the risk of infection, this is mostly used as temporary dialysis access until a fistula or graft has matured. A trialysis catheter falls into this category: it is a short-term catheter that is both a power PICC and dialysis access.Blood Pressure During DialysisBP can increase or decrease based on the patient's baseline, what/when medications were taken prior to dialysis, and the dialysis machine settings.What is UF (ultrafiltration)?Ultrafiltration is the mechanism for which fluid is removed from the blood during dialysis. Ultrafiltration occurs when fluid passes across a semipermeable membrane (the dialyzer) to an area of lower pressure (the dialysate).A high UF volume means that a large volume of fluid will be removed from the patient. A high UF rate means that fluid will be removed from the patient quickly.Strategies to increase BP during dialysis?Decrease the UF rate (amount of fluid removed divided by the hours)ADD volumeMedication support such as albumin, midodrine, or vasopressersAnemia in ESRDThe kidneys play a primary role in RBC production by secreting the hormone erythropoietin. Patients will often receive exogenous Epogen, iron, and vit D to help stimulate RBC production on dialysis daysMiscellaneousQ: When should we be taking off dialysis dry dressing? A: Around 4 hours after dialysis has ended (don't leave until the next day)Q: Why are patients tired afterwards?A: We are doing in 3-4 hours what the body does 24 hours a day -- fluid balance, removing toxins, electrolyte replacement to name a few.  The decrease in kidney function itself along with anemia and other comorbid issues contribute to fatigue.

So, people who have expertise who really want to get recognized as being an expert in their industry.” 01:51 - Problem Susan helps solve: “The problem is, literally, as you said in the introduction, that they're struggling to get known and paid for their expertise. They're not getting the recognition and the income that they deserve, and they are just- they don't know what to do.” 02:52 - Typical symptoms that clients do before reaching out to Susan: “Yes, the books are not selling. And they're not selling because they think they are- it's all about selling books, rather than selling the message and the value. And they often don't realize that so their concentration is just on selling books.” 03:51 - Common mistakes that people make before they find Susan’s solution: “first of all, realizing that their message isn't for everyone. They come to me and the first thing I say to them is, you know, "What do you want your book to do for you?" And it's like, "Get it out to everyone." And I'm like, "Hey, that's really difficult, not even the greatest Procter and Gambles of this world can do that." 05:51 - Susan’s Valuable Free Action (VFA): “Well, the step in the right direction is identifying the niche market, their real target. Who needs what they have to offer? And yes, it may be for everybody, but you can't sell to everybody.” 06:47 - Susan’s Valuable Free Resource (VFR): Check out Susan’s FREE Playbook: The Author to Authority Playbook: How to Get Recognized as an Expert in Your Industry 07:28 - Q: Why do I do what I do? A: Because it really upsets me to see authors who have something really valuable to add and not being able to share their message, drowning in the tsunami of books, titles, and authors, and their book dies and it shouldn't have to. So, I don't want that to happen. Tweetable Takeaways from this Episode: “Let's throw the pebble in the pond, let the ripples flow out, and target a smaller group that is easy to get to. Then go from there.” -Susan FriedmannClick To Tweet Transcript (Note, this was transcribed using a transcription software and may not reflect the exact words used in the podcast) Tom Poland 00:09 Greetings, everyone!

Do you want to know how to make an effective financial strategic plan? Susie Carder has created $10 million dollar businesses and her genius is the ability to simplify complicated issues by creating simple proven systems that create dramatic growth. She’s helped over 100,000 entrepreneurs increase revenues by anywhere from 25% to over 3,000%. In this episode, Susie shares how to grow out of the stagnant phase and earn more through focusing on the finances of the foundation. She also shares her insights on how knowing your “why” is the foundation of your success and growth. Check out these episode highlights: 01:54 - Susie’s ideal client: “My ideal client is an entrepreneur that loves to grow, that's gotten themselves to a certain spot and now they're ready to leverage it. They're out of answers themselves.” 02:07 - Problem Susie helps solve: “I'm the money honey. So what I know 88% of small businesses are not profitable, only 1.7% hit that million-dollar mark. So I make math fun, I make the money fun.” 03:01 - Typical symptoms that clients do before reaching out to Susie: “So what I find is business is a lot like this combination lock. Remember these from school, one little kick-off, and it won't open. And so you can have your sales, your marketing, your operations, your finance, but if it's not done in the right order, if it's not done in the right process, if we're not evaluating and analyzing what are the key performance indicators, you can have the right combination in the wrong order, and it's not going to open.” 04:04 - Common mistakes that people make before they find Susie’s solution: “Again, it goes back to the finances of the foundation. You're right. We build it on cement not sinking sand. With the clients that I've worked with, that's what I always start with. And what I realize is people either overspending, they're not following budgets, they get caught up in the excitement of "I made a million dollars", but they spent 1,000,005. Right?” 05:25 - Susie’s Valuable Free Action (VFA): “So the quickest way to cash, like everybody wants that, the quickest way to cash, is finding the right strategic partner. So I grew this brand with strategic partners, instead of me building clients one time, one at a time, one at a time, let me go find those partners that have my ideal client that I'm in complement with, not a competition with.” 06:10 - Susie’s Valuable Free Resource (VFR): Check out Susie’s Website: live.susiecarder.com/path-to-profits1 07:30 - Q: Why? A: Like if you don't have your “why” clear, money is not the answer. So many entrepreneurs chase the money. It's not the money. It's what's the "why" for you in the world. Tweetable Takeaways from this Episode: “If you don't have your 'Why' clear, money is not the answer. So many entrepreneurs chase the money. It's not the money, it's what's the 'Why' for you in the world.” -Susie CarderClick To Tweet Transcript (Note, this was transcribed using a transcription software and may not reflect the exact words used in the podcast) Tom Poland 00:09 Greetings everyone, and a very warm welcome to another edition of Marketing the Invisible.

 Discover how planning your marketing strategies and brand is important Find out why investing in a high-quality and world-class brand logo, and web design is better than under-investing Learn how first impressions matter in a business brand Resources/Links: Check out Ross’ Blog on How to Build a Strong Brand Identity: crowdspring.com/blog/brand-identity Summary Are you struggling with how to build your own brand? Are you planning on using an online logo generator for your brand? Don’t settle with the generic instead go with something mesmeric. Be authentic with your brand and settle with something high-quality and world-class while paying less! First impressions matter, so grab their attention with your authenticity and the rest will follow. Ross Kimbarovsky is the Founder and CEO of Crowdspring where 220,000+ creatives help businesses, startups, agencies, and non-profits with high-quality custom logos, web and graphic design, product design, and business names. In this episode, Ross shares how thinking about your brand identity and investing in it is very crucial, especially for small businesses. He also shares his insights on what to do and what to avoid when building your own brand. Check out these episode highlights: 01:28 - Ross’ ideal client: “Ideal client is a solopreneur or small business, one-to-nine employees looking for ways to level the playing field against bigger competitors.” 01:50 - Problem Ross helps solve: “Small businesses, entrepreneurs, startups have a tough time finding affordable high-quality design and finding people that can execute, do high-quality design. And so, Crowdspring helps entrepreneurs, those businesses, small agencies with everything from custom logo design, to website design and marketing materials design for every stage of their growing business.” 03:11 - Typical symptoms that clients do before reaching out to Brad: “Well, there are a number of things. First of all, marketing campaigns. Good marketing needs two things. Well, three things. Strategy, good copywriting, and good visual design. Marketing campaigns fail without any of those three things.” 05:08 - Common mistakes that people make before they find Ross’ solution: “I was going to say that this is a problem. When you under-invest in design in the beginning, it creates a poor foundation. So, everything you do later, you're making poor first impressions. Your marketing campaign suffers.” 06:02 - Ross’ Valuable Free Action (VFA): “Do a SWOT analysis. So, SWOT stands for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats used by big businesses, great for small businesses. It's a way to evaluate what your strengths as a company and brand are, what your weaknesses are, and foremost, it will be about visual design and the way you message and communicate about your products.” 06:43 - Ross’ Valuable Free Resource (VFR): Check out Ross’ Blog on How to Build a Strong Brand Identity: crowdspring.com/blog/brand-identity 07:20 - Q: Why can't they wait a year, six months, a year and a half, to invest in design after they've launched and have a bit more money? A: You make first impressions when you're initially launching. And when you've been in business for a year, whether you like it or not, you've developed a brand. You've developed a visual brand identity. And if it's poor, if the foundation is poor, it's really difficult to turn around after a year. And now the cost is significant because you have an identity. Tweetable Takeaways from this Episode: “Cheap, and free design is never cheap or free. It costs you a lot more in the long term.” -Ross KimbarovskyClick To Tweet Transcript (Note, this was transcribed using a transcription software and may not reflect the exact words used in the podcast) Tom Poland 00:09 Hello everyone and a very warm welcome to another ed...

 Discover how hiring the next generation could be one of your best investments yet Learn more on how to recruit next generations as interns Find out why hiring next generations is important in growing your business Resources/Links: Check out Jordan’s Website: capsource.io Summary Is your business slowly lacking connection with all the new changes brought by time? Do you want to know how you can engage more and increase your audience even with the change? Welcoming the next generation of smart, young, and fresh talent is one of the greatest investments you can give to your business. With this change, you may be able to get a bigger audience, more connections, and a booming profit. Don’t be the boomer in the business industry and stay updated and fresh with the new-gen! Jordan Levy is a serial education technology entrepreneur. He has started two EdTech companies that help higher-ed programs bridge the skills gap for their students through experiential learning. In this episode, Jordan shares his insights on how you can avoid business fluctuation by recruiting the next generation, giving both an opportunity for your business to connect more given these changes, and the next generation for experiences and opportunities. He also adds the best way of recruiting. Check out these episode highlights: 01:31 - Jordan’s ideal client: “We love working with companies that want to connect with that next generation and stay relevant forever. And typically, the folks that we work with are hiring managers, business unit leaders that want to recruit young talent, keep their interests coming in, and their new ideas coming in that will really benefit the future of that particular area of the organization.” 02:22 - Problem Jordan helps solve: “Most of the Fortune 500 companies from just 50 years ago are no longer Fortune 500 companies and the reason why is because they're not able to connect meaningfully. And it seems like it's very complicated to build programs that engage young professionals, or the employees or the interns. It's complicated.” 03:46 - Typical symptoms that clients do before reaching out to Jordan: “The symptoms are that they're growing and need to tap into the entry-level talent market, or that they're experiencing some turnover with some of the entry-level talents. The average is about every two and a half years, someone between the age of 16 and 34 is going to leave your organization. It's even less at the bottom of that out in that bracket.” 04:41 - Common mistakes people make before they find Jordan’s solution: “I think the most wasteful thing to do is just not do an internship program because you don't want to spend the effort on assembling one and making it a good experience. And so that's typically the case with most companies.” 05:42 - Jordan’s Valuable Free Action (VFA): “I think one thing that could take you in the right direction is if you don't want to work directly with us, just reach out to your local university and just say, "Hey, I have a business in the area. How can I support you and your students?" 06:29 - Jordan’s Valuable Free Resource (VFR): Check out Jordan’s Website: capsource.io 06:59 - Q: Why? A: Like, one of my favorites, Simon Sinek started with why. And so, you know, my experience as a student, going to a top tier institution, I went to Lehigh. I only had one internship when I graduated, and that internship was the single-handed, most important factor in defining my career because I did not like it.

 Find out the secrets to let you stand out in the market How to name your price as an established authority and not charging based on what the market perceives Find out why even if your work could speak for itself, no one would hear it, and why the need for you to be proactive Resources/Links: Find your angle. Access your free content creation matrix. Click here: http://www.brettjarman.com/angle Summary Have you been wondering why, despite having excellent work, nothing is happening to your business? Do you find yourself always comparing your price with what the market perceives? Are you experiencing irregular cash flows and going the feast and famine route? Have you been working on tasks that don’t move the needle in your business? Are you not getting any referrals? Brett Jarman is a business strategist and the Founder of Help Me Leverage, providing training and coaching for business, and the Founder of Experts On Air, a podcast production agency. In this episode, Brett helps you become not just the best-kept secret but one that stands out in the market. He shares how to name your price as an established authority by making people pay for the value you provide more than your product’s features and benefits. Check out these episode highlights: 01:13 - Brett’s ideal client: “My ideal clients are business owners or leaders who usually, they're selling their expertise. Often, they'll be a consultant or a coach, someone providing professional services, or, and increasingly over recent months and years, there might be an executive who's looking to expand, build their personal brand, and maybe start a portfolio career.” 01:42 - The problem Brett helps solve: “I help them stop being the best-kept secret. I help them stand out from the crowd and claim their authority in the marketplace.” 02:22 - The symptoms people experience before they realize they need Brett’s expertise: “One of the first symptoms is irregular cash flow. The second symptom is that they're having to compete on price or negotiate price with the clients. Third symptom is they're probably either getting no referrals or only getting what I call first-degree referrals. And then probably the fourth most important symptom is they find that they're often busy working on tasks that don't actually move the needle in the business.” 04:55 - The common mistakes people make when they're trying to solve that best-kept secret problem: “They don't think they have time to market themselves. The truth is, they don't actually need time, they need a system, they need a good process.” 06:18 - One Valuable Free Action (VFA) Brett recommends: “I would say, start a podcast. And now we'll put the emphasis on the word free there. People don't realize that you can actually start a podcast for absolutely no cost.” 06:52 - Brett’s Valuable Free Resource (VFR): http://www.brettjarman.com/angle 07:22 - Q: Why are people so reluctant to promote themselves? A: We're driven by subconscious programming. Tweetable Takeaways from this Episode: “Features and benefits, they can always be beaten, competitors can always either match or beat them. You're better off to rely on your reputation, build trust in the market, then rely on features and benefits.” -Brett JarmanClick To Tweet Transcript (Note, this was transcribed using a transcription software and may not reflect the exact words used in the podcast) Tom Poland 00:09 Greetings everyone and a very warm welcome to another edition of Marketing the Invisible.

And so, the second mistake is, even if they have a goal, they don't have a plan to reach their goal.” 03:53 - Mostafa’s Valuable Free Action (VFA): “One thing you should do is write down a clear goal and concise that exactly what you want from your business. And I would write the goal in terms of the number of people that you need to serve and support, so money is a natural by-product of your main goal. The main goal should not be money, it should be the number of people you need to serve.” 05:46 - Mostafa’s Valuable Free Resource (VFR): Check out Mostafa’s FREE $2000 Course: Simple Marketing Formula 07:09 - Q: Why are you giving away a $2,000 course for free?

Do you want to get those organically? Are you familiar with how PageSpeed and SEO work? Did you know that it can affect how Google understands your website? Geoff Atkinson is the former Senior Vice President of Marketing at Overstock.com. He is now the Founder-CEO of Huckabuy, an SEO software company. In this episode, Geoff shares his insights on how you can organically increase your website’s views and interaction by knowing how Google reads and understands websites. He also shares the secrets of building a perfect website with the power of PageSpeed and SEO. Check out these episode highlights: 01:09 - Geoff’s ideal client: “Anybody that is looking for increases in organic search traffic. So that's really a very grad, it can be- we have e-commerce, software companies, non-profit, legal, we pretty much cover every industry.” 01:42 - Problem Geoff helps solve: “The problem that we solve is sites are built for humans, and they're complex and hard for Google to understand so we solve that problem for you.” 02:17 - Typical symptoms that clients do before reaching out to Geoff: “If you think of Google as like a black box, or you've never had success with SEO, if you're sort of scratching your head, wondering what to do, the industry is a bit misleading, and so we sent to solve those questions for you.” 03:41 - Common mistakes that people make before they find Geoff’s solution: “Let's say the biggest mistake is this reliance on agencies as a solution for SEO.

If you think about three main pillars of SEO, one's link building, getting your domain authority up, one's content, and one's technical SEO.” 05:15 - Geoff’s Valuable Free Action (VFA): “I think PageSpeed is becoming a really important ranking factor. In 2021, Google's pushing a huge algorithm update called the Page Experience update. They've been talking about it for about nine months. PageSpeed is already a major factor but in 2021, the beginning of 2021, there's going to be a big, big shift up, and it's going to become even more of a factor. So, paying attention to page speed now is key.” 06:24 - Geoff’s Valuable Free Resource (VFR): Check out Geoff’s Website: https://huckabuy.com/cloud/page-speed/ 06:53 - Q: Why are PageSpeed and SEO important? A: SEO is important for a lot of reasons. I think of it as the oxygen of the internet, you kind of need it to survive. And it's built a lot of huge brands. PageSpeed is important, not just for SEO, but if you think about your own interactions with sites, how quickly it loads, it's how likely you'll stay on the site.

Click here: http://jakeadamdavey.com/brand Summary Have you done all you can in social media and just don't seem to get noticed? Even how hard you try to generate leads all you get are crickets. How about, take a pause, and listen to Jake. He might have something that would resonate with what you're facing now. Jake Davey empowers entrepreneurs and business owners to be seen as the go-to expert and authority in their industry by growing their first 10,000 followers on Instagram without spending a penny on paid advertising. In this episode, Jake shares how to engage, generate leads, and grow your business globally by leveraging Instagram. Check out these episode highlights: 01:26 - Jake's ideal client: "It is undoubtedly, its business owners and entrepreneurs. It's principally people who want to connect more deeply with their audience. So, business owners, entrepreneurs, who want to have a bigger impact on a global scale, they want to reach more people in the most effective way possible, the most powerful way possible. And in a way that strengthens and has a real depth of relationship, one-to-one with the individual that they're speaking to." 02:16 - The problem he helps solve: "Far and away at the moment, with the setup of Instagram, the way that the platform is designed, the fact that it is principally a visual platform, photos, images, video, it's so heavy on those things, that it's very, very powerful for moving the emotions over a path of connecting with people directly if you like breaking down that fourth wall. And because of that, I think that the problem that I saw with the problem that I help solve is how to forge deeper connections with people. In a world today, you know, in 2020, 2021, yet we're actually, the majority of people you do business with, you might never meet in person." 03:38 - Symptoms clients have before consulting with Jake: "Either they've been using social media in the past and social media more broadly, not necessarily just Instagram. And it's taking time, it's taking energy away from their business and from their main strengths. And for whatever reason, they haven't got traction, they haven't got the results that they want. They're not getting in front of as many people as they want to be able to get in front of, they're not getting, building the audience that they want to build. They're not building the engagement that they want to build; they're not getting the leads that they want to get." 05:08 - Mistakes clients make before they seek Jake's help: "Tried to do it all themselves is the first thing, trying to create all their own content, feeling that they have to create all their own content. Taking hours actually doing that, creating the content, and trying to take the perfect picture. That is far and the biggest challenge, perfection every time. 05:22 - Jake's Valuable Free Action (VFA): "The one major thing that shifted in my mind was when I realized when I first got started it's not to make it all about me. It's not social ME-dia, it's actually, social YOU-dia. What do my audience, my followers want to see?" 06:56 - Jake's Valuable Free Resource (VFR): Check out Jake's FREE access to The Instagram Accelerator Training.

Michael #2: Windows update broke NumPy Sent in by Daniel Mulkey A recent Windows update broke some behavior that I think OpenBLAS (used by NumPy) relied on. There's a Developer Community thread here. I am a NumPy developer. We have been trying to track down a strange issue where after updating to windows 10 2004, suddenly code that worked no longer works. Here is the NumPy issue and here is the corresponding issue in OpenBLAS. The problem can be summarized: when calling fmod, something is changed so that much later calling an OpenBLAS assembly routine fails. The only difference I can see in the registers that visual studio exposes is that after the call to fmod, register ST(0) is set to NAN. Steve Dower and other Microsoft people have commented. The fix is slated to take until January 2021 to be released, though there are workarounds for some scenarios. Matt P. posted a workaround: For all those at home following along and looking for a quick fix, NumPy has released a bugfix 1.19.3 to work around this issue. The bugfix broke something else on Linux, so we had to revert the fix in release 1.19.4, but you can still install the 1.19.3 via pip install numpy==1.19.3. Note this is only works around the way this bug crashes NumPy (technically, in OpenBLAS which is shipped with NumPy), and may not fix all your problems related to this bug, Microsoft’s help is needed to do that. Brian #3: Build Plugins with Pluggy kracekumar Blog post related to talks given at PyGotham and PyCon India Pluggy is the plugin library used by pytest Article starts with a CLI application that has one output format. Need is for more formats, implemented as plugins. Quick look at pluggy architecture of host/caller/core system and plugin/hook. Also plugin manager, hook specs, and hook implementations. Walks through the changes to the application needed to support plugins. I’ve been waiting for an article on pluggy, and this is nice. But I admit I’m still a little lost. I guess I need to watch one of the presentations and try to build something with pluggy.

But usually, when people come to us at the end of the day, they're looking for the brand that is going to take them into the future trajectory. So that might sound abstract, but they're either, you know, their brand is outdated, they don't have a brand, or they're not happy with their brand.” 02:59 - Symptoms clients face before they seek help: “I define the brand is about creating a desired perception in people's minds. And so if that perception is not dialed in, some of the symptoms of why it's time to rebrand, it's usually a business-related issue, meaning you're not attracting the right customers, you're not attracting the right leads, or you're not converting, you are attracting the right leads, but you're not converting maybe your message is not dialed in.” 04:10 - Common mistakes people commit before they discover Re’s solution: “They build a brand that's for where they are right now, not for where they're going three to five years, which leads them to have to rebrand every six months every year because they're not looking into the future or further into the future.” 05:10 - Re’s Valuable Free Action (VFA): “What I'm going to offer up is sort of a set of questions, which helps put you on the right track of building a brand.

Among the most popular ones are: ELF (Executable and Linkable Format), used by most of Linux distros PE (Portable Executable), used by Windows Mach-O (Mach object), used by Apple products We also need to make our library visible to our programs. An easiest way to do so is to copy it to /usr/lib/ - default system-wide directory for libraries. Maybe put it in system / system32 on Windows? ctypes: the simplest way With the shared object compiled, we are ready to call it. Consider ctypes to be the easiest way to execute some C code, because: it’s included in the standard library, writing a wrapper uses plain Python. lib = ctypes.CDLL(f'/usr/lib/libdullmath.so') lib.get_pi For C: You need to be clear about the calling convention (extern “C” for example) Now we can load libraries at runtime, but we are still missing the way to generate correct caller ABI to use external C libraries. Do deal with it, libffi was created. Libffi is a portable C library, designed for implementing FFI tools, hence the name. Given structs and functions definitions, it calculates an ABI of function calls at runtime. A mature approach to improve in this area is to allow libraries to introduce themselves. We can oblige every library to define a function named entry_point, which will return metadata about functions it contains. Final destination: C/C++ extensions and Python/C API CPython provides a similar API for implementing C-based extensions: “Extending and Embedding the Python Interpreter”. // NOTE: entry point function has dynamic name PyInit_[HTML_REMOVED] PyMODINIT_FUNC PyInit_mymath(void) { return PyModule_Create(&mymathmodule); } The main difference is that we have to wrap initial C functions with Python-specific ones. CPython interpreter uses its own PyObject type internally rather than raw int, char*, and so on, and we need the wrappers to perform the conversion. Cython, Boost.Python, pybind11 and all all all The main challenge of writing pure C extensions is a massive amount of boilerplate that needs to be written. Mainly this boilerplate is related to wrapping and unwrapping PyObject. It becomes especially hard if a module introduces its own classes (object types). To solve this issue, a plethora of different tools was created. All of them introduce a certain way to generate wrapping boilerplate automatically. They also provide easy access to C++ code and advanced tools for the compilation of extensions. Examples aiohttp - asyncio web framework that uses Cython for HTTP parsing, uvloop - event loop that is wrapping libuv, fully written in Cython, httptools - bindings to nodejs HTTP parser, also fully written in Cython (a lot of other big projects like sanic or uvicorn use httptools). Cecil #2: ugit: DIY Git in Python Michael #3: Things I Learned to Become a Senior Software Engineer by Niel Kakkar Growing using different ladders of abstraction Entering my second year, I had all the basics in place. I did figure out something insightful. I’m working inside the software development lifecycle, but this lifecycle is part of a bigger lifecycle: the product and infrastructure development lifecycle. Learning what people around me are doing Since we’re not in a closed system, it makes sense to better understand the job of the product managers, the sales people, and the analysts. Product managers are the best source for this. They know how the business makes money, who are the clients, and what do clients need. Learning good habits of mind Thinking well: Diving into cog sci, one output was a framework for critical thinking. It’s compounding, and compounding is powerful. Strategies for making day-to-day more effective: The other side of the coin is habits that allow you to think well. It starts with noticing little irritations during the day, inefficiencies in meetings, and then figuring out strategies to avoid them. Some good habits I’ve noticed: Never leave a meeting without making the decision / having a next action Decide who is going to get it done. Things without an owner rarely get done. Document design decisions made during a project Acquiring new tools for thought & mental models New tools for thought are related to thinking well, but more specific to software engineering. For example, I was recently struggling with a domain with lots of complex business logic. Edge cases were the norm, and we wanted to design a system that handles this cleanly. That’s when I read about Domain Driven Design Protect your slack When I say slack, I don’t mean the company, but the adjective. One thing that gives me high output and productivity gains is to “slow down”. Want to get more done? Slow down. When there is slack, you get a chance to experiment, learn, and think things through. This means you get enough time to get things done. When there is no slack, deadlines are tight, and all your focus goes into getting shit done. Ask Questions Q: What is a package? A: It’s code wrapped together that can be installed on a system. Q: Why do I need packages? A: They give a consistent way of getting all the files you need in the right place. Without them, things are easy to mess up. You need to ensure every file is where it’s supposed to be, the system paths are set up, and dependent packages are available. Q: How do packages differ from applications I can install on my system? A: It’s a very similar idea! Windows installer is like a package manager that helps install applications. Similarly, DPKG and rpm packages are like .exes that you can install on Linux systems, with the help of apt and yum package managers, which are like the windows installers. Force multipliers One sprint I didn’t get much done myself. I wrote very limited code. Instead, I co-ordinated which changes should go out when (it was a complicated sprint), tested they worked well, did lots of code reviews, made alternate design suggestions, and pair-programmed wherever I could to get things un-stuck. We got everything done, and in this case, zooming out helped make decisions for PRs easier. It was one of our highest velocity sprints. Embrace fear: I’ve learned to embrace this feeling. It excites me. It’s information about what I’m going to learn. I’ve taken it so far that I’ve started tracking it in my human log - “Did I feel fear this week?” If the answer is no too many weeks in a row, I’ve gotten too comfortable. Super powers Getting into the source code when documentation isn’t enough Quest: Reading open source code. Quickly build a mental model for the code you’re looking at Quest: Reading open source code. Embracing fear Quest: Build a side project. Confidence to express ignorance Quest: Overcome the first gotcha with growing. Cecil #4: Build tech skills for space exploration Michael #5: Profiling Django Views by Farhan Azmi We know we need to profile our code Many Python profiling tools exist, but this article will limit only to the most used tools: cProfile and django-silk . The two tools mainly profile in regards to function calls and execution time. To incorporate cProfile to Django views, we can write our own middleware that captures the profiling on every request sent to our Django views. Thankfully, there exists a simpler solution: django-cprofile-middleware. It is a simple profiling middleware created by a Github user omarish. To profile this view with the installed middleware, we can just append prof parameter to the end of the URL, i.e. http://localhost:8000/api/auth/users/availability/?username=[HTML_REMOVED]&email=[HTML_REMOVED]&prof We can visualize the profile result further with Python profiler visualizing library, such as SnakeViz. Just add &download to the request. the profile result could not show which database query that brings performance hit. This is needed especially when our application is centered around database (SQL) queries: That’s where django-silk comes in. Add as middleware: Silk will automatically intercept requests we make to our views and the UI can be accessed from the path /silk/ . Dive into a request to see all the headers/form/etc + DB query and perf.

 Discover how you can increase your sales as a contractor without overworking Know more on how to avoid unwanted mistakes in your business as a contractor Learn how to avoid “Feast or Famine” through recognizing the strengths and weaknesses of your business Resources/Links: Check out Tom’s Worksheet: http://www.thecontractorfight.com/50 Summary Is it difficult for you to take your business as a contractor to the next level? Do you want to steady and widen your sales? Are you ready to avoid “feast and famine”? Tom Reber is the creator of The Contractor Fight, a movement of Home Improvement Contractors who are taking back control of their businesses and fattening their wallets. In this episode, Tom talks about how it’s possible for you to increase your sales as a contactor without overworking. He also shares his insights on what you should do and what you should avoid as a contractor. Check out these episode highlights: 1:25 - Tom’s ideal client: “Our ideal client is the already successful Home Improvement Contractor. The guy, or the girl, that person who they know they have another gear. They've proven they can make some money; they can sell some jobs; they can get the phone to ring. But they just can't seem to get to that next level, whatever that next level means for them.” 1:53 - Problem Tom helps solve: “Well, contrary to popular belief, the average Home Improvement Contractor in the United States only makes about 55 to 60 grand a year. And so, with all the risks they take, and this and that, most of them like, you know, most entrepreneurs, you're good at the craft, right? You know the thing, but nobody ever taught you how to run a business, how to lead people, how to sell, what it means to really know your numbers, marketing, and all those things. And so, that's really the big problem. At the end of the day time these guys are, they're broke, they've worked 10, 20 years in a career that they have nothing to show for it.” 2:58 - Typical symptoms that clients do before reaching out to Tom: “It's feast or famine. You know, the phone's ringing 40 times a day or it's not ringing at all. I've got a crazy amount of work and I don't know how I'm going to do it all. Or I've got nothing on the calendar for the next, you know, three weeks. So, feast or famine.” 3:55 - Common mistakes that people make before they find Tom’s solution: “Well, they try it out to work the problem. They just think putting in more hours, more time, taking on more projects, more clients more jobs, that's a big mistake people make. They also, try to do it all instead of what we say hit one nail in at a time. You know, if I'm a carpenter and I'm tapping a nail in over here and one in over here, at the end of the day, if I never finished a nail, I got upset nails, I accomplished nothing. Exactly. And so that's a big thing.” 5:03 - Tom’s Valuable Free Action (VFA): “So, this is the game-changer. Seriously. Like, we've seen this happen with thousands of people over the years. If you simply figure out exactly what it's going to cost you to produce the job, so, say labor’s going to be 300 bucks, the material's going to be 100 bucks, it's 400 bucks. At least double it and sell it there so that you'll have after you produce the work, you have what we call a 50% gross profit.” 6:01 - Tom’s Valuable Free Resource (VFR): Check out Tom’s Worksheet: thecontractorfight.com/50 7:13 - Q: Why do I do this? A: It really comes down to the fact that my mission with The Contractor Fight and our company is to bring respect and dignity back to the trades. For years, decades, people have been telling us, "If you don't go to college, you're a loser." You know, "The trades are a good fallback option," and stuff like that.

 Discover how to write kick-butt copy that can double the results of your marketing campaigns--quickly and easily! Learn the proven and tested formulas of direct response copywriting that informs and drives clicks, conversions, leads, and sales into the stratosphere Find out why your copy isn't converting and why basic skills of persuasion is important Resources/Links: FREE Sample Chapter of The Copywriter’s Handbook: https://www.bly.com/copyhandbook/ Summary 'I'm doing a lot of marketing, I think my product is great. People seem to love it when they have it, but it's not selling.'--- As an entrepreneur that is looking to improve marketing ROI, is this familiar? So, you've got the 'winning product'...and you did your marketing in place. But your copy isn't converting. What could be the solution? Robert 'Bob' Bly is a veteran direct response copywriter with 4+ decades of experience in business-to-business and direct marketing. He has written copy for over 100 clients including IBM, AT&T, Medical Economics, Praxair, and Agora Publishing. In this episode, Robert shares how to double the results of your marketing campaigns--quickly and easily with kick-butt content that blows your competitors out of the water. Check out these episode highlights: 01:50 - Robert’s ideal client: “My ideal client has two characteristics. Number one, whenever they do is some kind of direct response, online or offline, it's directly measurable. And the second characteristic for me, I want clients for whom copy matters. Their business copies an important element of their business success.” 02:45 - Problem Robert helps solve: “The problem is they are getting a certain response rate, a number of orders, click sales, to their marketing, that limits their return on investment and they want to increase the response and the ROI. And I write copy that outperforms their current marketing." 03:33 - Typical symptoms that clients do before reaching out to Robert: “The most common one is that I get a call and they say, 'We are selling something. Here's our landing page, here's our sales letter. We paid somebody else to write this and it doesn't work. What can you do?' That, in essence, is the number one pain they have.” 04:52 - Common mistakes that people make before they find Robert’s solution: “Other than hiring staff or outside copywriter whose copy does not work, is they themselves do not understand the principles of direct response copywriting, whether online or offline. There are formulas, proven and tested, for writing copy that generates a response. And if you know those formulas, you can be successful. And then there are many other layers behind that, but they don't know, so many people today don't know the basics, the fundamentals, of persuasion in print or online. They don't have a clue.” 05:48 – Robert's Valuable Free Action (VFA): "Look at your landing pages, for example. Here's my top tip. Look at the headline and ask yourself these four questions about the headline, which is one of the most important areas of the sales letter or home page. Is it urgent? Is there a reason to act now instead of later? Is it unique? Or is it something I've heard a million times before? Is it useful? Does it offer a benefit, a reason for me to respond or buy the product? And is it ultra-specific because, as you know, specific sell and generalities, which so many people use, don't? Even though that may sound good." 06:44 - Robert's Valuable Free Resource (VFR): Check out Robert’s Book: https://www.bly.com/copyhandbook/ 08:08 - Q: Why is your copy not converting? A: The reason people don't get a better response is that they write with an objective other than getting a response. Some people say, "I want to build an image, I want to create brand awareness." You can do all that but if you want to get a response,

Allison Kaplan Sommer, Noah Efron and wunderkind critic Ohad Zeltzer-Zubida discuss two topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week. --Reflections on the Revolution in Jerusalem-- Israelis’ trust in their leaders has dropped by half in just one month, and each night brings new scenes of police water-cannoning protestors outside PM Netanyahu’s house. What happens next? --Diss Engagement-- Fifteen years ago, Israeli soldiers and police dragged Jewish settlers kicking-and-crying from their homes in Gaza. What was the legacy of this “withdrawal to end all withdrawals”? --Is It Ethical to Scold People for Not Wearing a Mask?-- For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion, we take on a question sent in this week to Haaretz’s moral “Dear Abby”: Is It Ethical to Scold People for Not Wearing a Mask on the Street? The old riddle goes, Q: Why do Israelis not have sex in public? A: Because who needs mobs of people crowding in to tell you what you’re doing wrong. What’s true for coitus is no doubt true for matters pandemical, but should it be? All that and the keytar genius of Bemet (aka, Hod Moshonov, one of Forbes “30 Under 30”)!
